"We have found that off some single guys thinking that the £40 entry fee is a dead cert for sex.... sorry those guys who think that need a brothel not a swingers club ." I think the higher prices for single guys gives some a very bitter sense of entitlement. | |||

"We have found that off some single guys thinking that the £40 entry fee is a dead cert for sex.... sorry those guys who think that need a brothel not a swingers club . I think the higher prices for single guys gives some a very bitter sense of entitlement. " This is exactly what i mean , lower prices mean less sense of entitlement , single guys rep would change , i have the upmost respect for the couples and single females and i hate to see a train of single guys follow the couples around | |||

"As a single guy i find the entrance fees at clubs far too expensive £30 or £40 is way over the top , with m/fs getting in for half price and single females free , people wonder why the single guy/s seem to be so pushy , i am not a pushy person and have total respect for fellow swingers, if the clubs started charging £15 to £25 for single male entry the bad reputation of the single guy would go and the ambience would be better , i just think us single guys are getting the short straw all round with entrance to clubs" . As no one is compelled to attend a club, if they do not like the pricing policy they can simply boycott the clubs which they believe are too expensive . If clubs were to lower their entrance fees , they would be flooded with single men. Under the current price structure , it ensures that there is a reasonable ratio of males to couples and females . If prices were lowered , how many would want to attend a club full of blokes . | |||

"Would it make you happier if everyone paid £40?" the entry fee should be same across the board , the single guys who get so much bad publicity in the forums but who are making the clubs more accessible for couples and especially single females are being unfairly treated ,women want to be treated as equals and so they should be and as equals they should pay the same fee as men | |||

"How boring, get a life and stop whinging, swinging is mainly for couples!!!!" What a shitty attitude! And you wonder why people consider some couple up their own arses!! No doubt you're the type who think single women are OK to swing. Not for your own selfish reasons of course | |||

"This subject comes up quite a lot so you are not alone, although it does tend to be new ish guys to the scene who start the threads. If you type in 'single guy prices' or similar in the search box to the left, loads of threads will come up which you will find interesting. Just saves everyone repeating themselves on a subject which is discussed quite regularly xx" | |||

By getting single men to pay higher rates couples and single ladies can enjoy the benefit of lower entrance fees presumably | |||

"As someone else said,if you think the price is too high,don't go,if all single guys boycott the club and that price then they may be forced to lower it. However,more likely they have done their market research and found the price they charge is about right,that's how business works." . A very realistic post and one that is based on common sense. Supply and demand is what governs most things in life. Why should a swingers club be any different . | |||

I think the higher prices for single guys gives some a very bitter sense of entitlement. So do I. At the price some clubs charge it's hardly surprising some men want a returm" It's easy to find the 'pay for play' clubs that advertise on here although they do charge more than £40 it seems. I think the problem is that some guys are looking for pay to play at normal club prices. | |||

I have a life thank you very much , if you found my thread boring nobody forced you to comment and who is it to say that swinging is just for couples ?" Well said.....This is my experience of most couples attitude here in the forums unfortunately. Crass and arrogant towards most others on this matter. Read the related threads and you'll see what i mean. There are a few nice ones I've chatted with but it's only a few. I thought 2016 was going to be different judging by what many were saying last week... lmao. | |||

Just because someone pays money fir something doesn't change their attitude. Some people just expect to be able to play with whoever they like and forgo any pleasantries such ask talking or asking permission. | |||

Just look at the sense of entitlement from some on here, who've paid nothing! Wah, wah, the women are too picky, wah, the ordinary blokes aren't given a chance, wah, women are rude and don't reply... The expectation that anyone deserves to be given a 'chance' just because they are on here is ridiculous. If someone doesn't fancy someone else they owe them nothing. A guy may be the nicest guy ever but if he's not what a woman wants, why does she owe him a chance? | |||

Another interesting addition is this - my erotic outfits cost 30 to 60 pounds, some items last a year, some items get ripped or ruined on first wear - stockings cost between 5 and 15 pounds and can only be worn once or twice at most - some ladies also have other high costs ( hairdo, grooming and make up can be cheap or expensive depending on many factors). So with these costs in mind - maybe charging couples and single ladies a third less than the single man charges would be a fair compromise? A new premises that has opened in Leeds have changed from free entry to 5pounds for single ladies - I have been 3 times since they started charging us - I feel totally happy with the price, in fact I would gladly pay 10 pounds - the improvec facilities are well worth it. I would not pay the same price as a single man - no - I think a lady or a couple should pay less than a single man because of supply and demand in the swinging world and because us ladies spend alot of time and effort and money on presenting ourselves. | |||

" There are already far fewer women than men that go when they get in for free/cheaper. Do you really think as many or more would go if the price went up? Just as more people would want to go if it was cheaper, fewer go if it's more expensive. There are plenty of guys on this thread alone who say they won't pay the prices clubs charge. Why would women be any different? And there are already far fewer women that want to go than men. It's not complicated maths. | |||

"At least in these places you get what you paid for.... " What, exactly, do you think you're paying for? If you want guaranteed sex there are two known hostess clubs and several brothels you can pay for. Most other clubs on here only guarantee that you get in, and possibly the chance to mingle. That's all. | |||

It's the guys who don't get the sex they think they should be guaranteed that complain they don't get what they paid for. What they are paying for is a social environment where they can meet other people interested in swinging. That's what they get. (I still don't necessarily think it's right men pay more, but they do get what they pay for, whether that matches their expectations or not). | |||

"I am happy to say that I have never been to a swingers club and have no intentions of changing that. A liking for cock means I can nip to a sauna a have pretty much guaranteed fun for under £20. No membership, no waiting lists, no need to sit and chat bollocks in the hope of getting a shag. I stick to socialising on here for that 'fix' So guys, start liking cock. Fanny is just so 1980's Just think : It's much cheaper, no where near as much hard work, you're pretty much guaranteed a gobble and you're not made to feel like a lepper in the process I find this post cynical and it makes me feel sad - I like to play heteto and bi, I am attracted to many many men and to some women too - attraction is nothing to do with the cost of the entrance fee of a club - for a bisexual man to suggest that a straight man should opt for a free man to man wank or bj or fuck rather than pay to enter a swingers club is very demeaning to both genders. ??" Great way of getting some new virgin men into his sauna though | |||

"Would it make you happier if everyone paid £40? Yes. Complete parity. And no women in the clubs. Yes, I can see men being happy with that! but why would a woman not go if she had to pay £40 ? There are already far fewer women than men that go when they get in for free/cheaper. Do you really think as many or more would go if the price went up? Just as more people would want to go if it was cheaper, fewer go if it's more expensive. There are plenty of guys on this thread alone who say they won't pay the prices clubs charge. Why would women be any different? And there are already far fewer women that want to go than men. It's not complicated maths. so you are saying you as a woman wouldn't go if you had to pay £40 so see the flip side of that !!!! " Guys do go though. Clubs don't have to lower the price to get the numbers in. So what flipside exactly are you talking about? How would it help men going to clubs if no women go? | |||

Funny how all the guys are completely ignoring that it costs the women many times more to get their hair done, and that women need to buy outfits and cosmetics etc. Apparently that's reasonable. But anything that costs men more than women, omg, how unfair!! | |||

"Supply and demand. When I go for a hair cut as a man I get charged a quarter of what women get charged. So it's swingers and roundabouts. Oaps get 10% off at B&Q on certain days, plus cut price tickets to sporting events. Then there are student discounts, If you want a fair life then I wish you luck looking for it. In real life businesses charge the maximum they can to maximise profits. They are not sex charities. They could not care less if the club was 100% male or if females had to pay ten times as much as males. The are unbiased to gender, but they do want to make money. It's economics 101. What is the price of something worth? Whatever anyone is willing to pay for it. At least in these places you get what you paid for.... You get what you pay for at a club to. Really? What extras do men get, that they have to pay more for?" They get no extras. But I don't get extra when I pay more for my ticket to a sporting event than an oap. I don't get less when I pay less than a woman for a haircut. You are assuming price is driven by the product, it's not it's driven by demand. I can get in cheaper as a couple to watch a film than I can as a single man, the experience is the same. | |||

"The actual price to attend clubs will be the price for single males. Couples and single females prices are reduced as they are under represented. The reduction should encourage this group to attend. These in turn 'attract' more single men. Just good business sense. Nothing will change. Men talk about boycotting clubs but there will always be those willing to pay the price, whatever the price, for club entry. We all have choices. If you don't agree with club pricing - don't go. See it as your protest against unfair pricing but it will change nothing. " Well said ! We go to a west mids club and there are always lots of single guys there and less couples and fems so obviously there are plenty of single guys who are willing to pay a higher entrance fee so the clubs will carry on charging it | |||

But does it attract a certain type of man who is willing to pay it? " You get some entitled idiots but most the men I meet at clubs are decent blokes looking to have a fun night out. A pub crawl in York will be up costing way more than most swinger clubs in the North charge for men to enter, so I assume the men complaining of being charged to enter a club prefer to spend a fortune on beer to end up shagging behind some bins. | |||

"For those claiming it is expensive because of cost of hair, nails, make up, outfits and so on ... that's your choice, just like it's the mans choice to pay an entrance fee or not. When broken down, a lot of (but not all) guys are interested in your fanny and other available holes, not in how much your hair cost. They just aren't all that interested in that stuff. That's for you. To make you 'feel sexy' or whatever. Not for them. Don't kid yourself. If they are interested, it's because you 'feeling sexy' might up their chances of a gobbly wank. I expect the white knights to come racing in now, chargers set to full charm and protect mode. I expect the women to decry such vulgarity. I expect the men folk protecting their wives and by default, their honour. I expect to be defamed as one of those disrespectful single males that doesn't understand swinging or women and thinks they're just a piece of meat. Or I could just be dismissed as a lunatic. I am none of these things, but I do have a tendancy to see things at their stripped back face value. As for the guys that are moaning about club prices, don't go. Or pay it and shut up. Nothing will change. No matter how hard you shake your rattle. It's futile. Just like this post " I can just imagine the comments from the men about the 'quality' of the women at a venue if they didn't dress up and make an effort to present themselves nicely! Women may well do it for themselves - as they should - but the men would soon notice and complain if they didn't. | |||

The hair and outfits was raised more in response to the suggestion it's a cheap night out for women when there's more to it than that. But yes, it's not about fairness, it's business. The model clubs use clearly works for them. | |||

What women spend on clothes and make up etc is down to cultural and social expectations. That is a far harder nut to crack than simple economics. | |||

"We have found that off some single guys thinking that the £40 entry fee is a dead cert for sex.... sorry those guys who think that need a brothel not a swingers club . I think the higher prices for single guys gives some a very bitter sense of entitlement. This is exactly what i mean , lower prices mean less sense of entitlement , single guys rep would change , i have the upmost respect for the couples and single females and i hate to see a train of single guys follow the couples around" Not really. Some guys no matter what the price will think that women there are up for it ... Now personally we prefer mixed nights and have no issue with guys that get the lifestyle. It's the ones that think that the women are easy or they have a right to sex that bugs us and we have seen this across all clubs .x and not all clubs charge lots. | |||

I struggle sometimes to tell when people are being serious or being sarcastic, are you seriously suggesting that clubs should be cheaper for wpmen effectively in order to subsidise your clothing and make up costs? Men aren't paying for guaranteed sex... but they are paying for women's make up and clothes. Excellent. Come on - read my post properly please - maybe I should make my point more bluntly - I am saying that when men complain that they are hard done by because they pay more to get into the club than women they should stop and look at the women there and ask themselves - how much time and effort and money did they lady put into looking like that and have they done all that so that I will be attracted to them and want to play with them? win:win So are you suggesting that men don;t make an effort and don;t spend money on outfits? Maybe true for you and the clubs you go to but some of us don;t turn up in cheap suits See the clothes argument is a red herring. Its a weak discussion point as it ties women's efforts to the price the club charges effectively tying women and the club together when they are completely separate. " No, it's not but it's relevant to the total cost of the night out, (which can influence demand and supply). It's not relevant to the club and the price they charge. | |||

"We have found that off some single guys thinking that the £40 entry fee is a dead cert for sex.... sorry those guys who think that need a brothel not a swingers club . I think the higher prices for single guys gives some a very bitter sense of entitlement. This is exactly what i mean , lower prices mean less sense of entitlement , single guys rep would change , i have the upmost respect for the couples and single females and i hate to see a train of single guys follow the couples around" The sense of entitlement comment always puzzles me....people pay the entrance fee to the club, not the guests, therefore the entrance fee doesn't entitle anyone to anything other than the use of the facilities, not the use of other people. | |||

Clubs should have a responsibility to be fair and be equidistant from everyone! It's unfair people who live farther from clubs have to travel a greater distance to them."

Private clubs can use pricing to encourage the attendance of under-represented groups. If they charge less for single men, more will want to go but clubs will still have to restrict numbers. Then men will complain they can't get into clubs rather than the clubs charge too much. Plus, to maintain the income, prices for women will have to increase. So fewer women will go. And the men who do get in won't be happy about that either. | |||

"Would it make you happier if everyone paid £40? the entry fee should be same across the board , the single guys who get so much bad publicity in the forums but who are making the clubs more accessible for couples and especially single females are being unfairly treated ,women want to be treated as equals and so they should be and as equals they should pay the same fee as men " What planet are you on? Since when in life is everyone treated equally? The ratio of males to females on fab isn't equal and the ratio isn't equal at clubs. The low prices for women are to entice their attendance otherwise you'd get a dick fest. | |||

"For those claiming it is expensive because of cost of hair, nails, make up, outfits and so on ... that's your choice, just like it's the mans choice to pay an entrance fee or not. When broken down, a lot of (but not all) guys are interested in your fanny and other available holes, not in how much your hair cost. They just aren't all that interested in that stuff. That's for you. To make you 'feel sexy' or whatever. Not for them. Don't kid yourself. If they are interested, it's because you 'feeling sexy' might up their chances of a gobbly wank. I expect the white knights to come racing in now, chargers set to full charm and protect mode. I expect the women to decry such vulgarity. I expect the men folk protecting their wives and by default, their honour. I expect to be defamed as one of those disrespectful single males that doesn't understand swinging or women and thinks they're just a piece of meat. Or I could just be dismissed as a lunatic. I am none of these things, but I do have a tendancy to see things at their stripped back face value. As for the guys that are moaning about club prices, don't go. Or pay it and shut up. Nothing will change. No matter how hard you shake your rattle. It's futile. Just like this post " I agree. A woman's expenses prior to club entrance is irrelevant to entrance fees. Irrelevant to business but obviously relevant to the women themselves. | |||

"As a single guy i find the entrance fees at clubs far too expensive £30 or £40 is way over the top , with m/fs getting in for half price and single females free , people wonder why the single guy/s seem to be so pushy , i am not a pushy person and have total respect for fellow swingers, if the clubs started charging £15 to £25 for single male entry the bad reputation of the single guy would go and the ambience would be better , i just think us single guys are getting the short straw all round with entrance to clubs" If you feel this way then simply don't go. As couple or even a single lady there is never any guarantee you will get any action. If you want a guaranteed result then go to a club where they have paid girls. | |||

"As someone else said,if you think the price is too high,don't go,if all single guys boycott the club and that price then they may be forced to lower it. However,more likely they have done their market research and found the price they charge is about right,that's how business works.. A very realistic post and one that is based on common sense. Supply and demand is what governs most things in life. Why should a swingers club be any different . Yep - have to agree with the supply and demand. Another interesting addition is this - my erotic outfits cost 30 to 60 pounds, some items last a year, some items get ripped or ruined on first wear - stockings cost between 5 and 15 pounds and can only be worn once or twice at most - some ladies also have other high costs ( hairdo, grooming and make up can be cheap or expensive depending on many factors). So with these costs in mind - maybe charging couples and single ladies a third less than the single man charges would be a fair compromise? A new premises that has opened in Leeds have changed from free entry to 5pounds for single ladies - I have been 3 times since they started charging us - I feel totally happy with the price, in fact I would gladly pay 10 pounds - the improvec facilities are well worth it. I would not pay the same price as a single man - no - I think a lady or a couple should pay less than a single man because of supply and demand in the swinging world and because us ladies spend alot of time and effort and money on presenting ourselves. I struggle sometimes to tell when people are being serious or being sarcastic, are you seriously suggesting that clubs should be cheaper for wpmen effectively in order to subsidise your clothing and make up costs? Men aren't paying for guaranteed sex... but they are paying for women's make up and clothes. Excellent. Come on - read my post properly please - maybe I should make my point more bluntly - I am saying that when men complain that they are hard done by because they pay more to get into the club than women they should stop and look at the women there and ask themselves - how much time and effort and money did they lady put into looking like that and have they done all that so that I will be attracted to them and want to play with them? win:win So are you suggesting that men don;t make an effort and don;t spend money on outfits? Maybe true for you and the clubs you go to but some of us don;t turn up in cheap suits Suits can, however, be worn for other things. A lot of other things. The sort of outfits women buy for clubs don't lend themselves well to work, job interviews, regular social events... " Haha, not wrong. I've missed your posts VV | |||

I'll be wearing a £200 pair of boots and a kilt that cost me around £100. Not sure on the top yet. I'll also have a selection of floggers with me (It's primarily a fet event) worth a few hundred pounds (who said men don;t accessorize), so what of that could I wear to job interviews or social events? People spend what they want on outfits, it's outdated thinking to suggest that women spend a fortune and men make no effort. " Ooooh sexy. It's the floggers that do it | |||

"How boring, get a life and stop whinging, swinging is mainly for couples!!!! And that is why some ( not me ) feel they are segregated against..... If that's the case why should single females get in for very cheap/free?? Because they wouldn't go otherwise and the men still wouldn't be happy. Do you want women in clubs? They need to be offered an incentive to go. That incentive is a discounted entrance fee. Really? Women need an incentive to go? So you're saying women don't want to go to clubs but have to be "incentivised" to go in.....cause thats sounds a little...off I think it means they have other options open to them. Clubs are in competition with this site and lots of others plus twitter and simply going out on the pull. " Clubs and sites like this go hand in hand. They are not in competition. | |||

Most think they only have to wait in the play rooms then just jump on. Very few have made the effort to have a chat in the social side of the club. And yes we do meet single guys now and then | |||

"I see this has raised its head again... I have been both as couple, as single... At both organised clubs and private parties... No matter what the contributions are... There are ALWAYS assholes... Not just single males I'm talking right across the board... Single guy's, single fems, couples, owners, staff and private hosts... Like others have stated Pricing will never change... As soon as someone pays and EXPECTS SEX... HE'S AT THE WRONG PARTY... I go along, because I enjoy being surrounded by like minded intelligent people Where we don't have to whisper in conversation, or hide your likes... I still go to private parties, and clubs. But never expect to play... My only expectation, is to have fun in the company of like minded people of all ages, size or colour... We all have our preferences when it comes to sex. But manners and civility, should be common traits universally given and expected by all..." Wonderful positive attitude - great to have your contribution on the thread, thank you - wish more swingers would think like you, m x | |||

"Single men are just to keep fab swingers and clubs in profit Just have to put up with it or leave simple !!! " How do single men keep this site in profit? The site is free. Donating is voluntary and is exactly the same price for everyone. | |||

And the men who do get in won't be happy about that either." Nope, you are talking guff. Try charging different prices for two single men. One Caucasian one ethnic and see how you get on with that one. Last comment from me as you are obviously not listening | |||

Different pricing for men and women at private clubs does not break equality laws. It's allowed. It's been discussed on here many, many times. It's you that doesn't want to listen, hence flouncing off with the 'that's my last comment' statement. Go do your research. Even look back at previous threads on here on this subject. You are wrong. | |||

"Final final word from me! Chap above is spot on. Single female, single male, couple. It doesn't matter all are capable of being good, bad, ugly etc. It's called society" Yep. And the supply and demand of all three at swinging clubs is different. | |||

Last comment from me as you are obviously not listening" I've witness higher pricing for Caucasian men at BBC events because they can't discriminate entry racially but a Caucasian guy isn't likely to be in demand at such an event. You can argue why did he go? but you'd be surprised | |||
